FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a series of novel substituted fused pyrimidine compounds, their tautomers, polymorphs, stereoisomers, prodrugs, solvates, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and methods of treating conditions and diseases that are mediated by adenosine receptor (AR) activity. These compounds are useful in the treatment, prevention or suppression of diseases and disorders that may be susceptible to improvement by antagonism of the adenosine receptor, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, angiogenesis, pulmonary fibrosis, emphysema, allergic diseases, inflammation, reperfusion injury, myocardial ischemia, atherosclerosis, hypertension, congestive heart failure, retinopathy, diabetes mellitus, obesity, inflammatory gastrointestinal tract disorders, neurodegenerative disorders and/or autoimmune diseases.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Adenosine is known to be an endogenous modulator of a number of physiological functions and these are mediated by the interaction with different membrane specific receptors which belong to the family of receptors coupled with G proteins. Adenosine exerts effects in cardiovascular, central nervous, respiratory systems, kidney, adipose and platelets. Recent advances in molecular biology coupled with several pharmacological studies have lead to identification of at least four subtypes of adenosine receptors, A₁, A_(2B), A_(2b) and A₃. The A₁ and A₃ receptors down-regulate cellular cAMP levels through their coupling to G protein, which inhibit adenylate cyclase. In contrast, A_(2A) and A_(2B) receptors couple to G protein that activate adenylate cyclase and increase intracellular levels of cAMP.

Advances in understanding the role of adenosine and its receptors in physiology and pathophysiology as well as new developments in medicinal chemistry of these receptors have identified potential therapeutic areas for drug development. With the combination of pharmacological data, using selective ligands and genetically modified mice, important progress has been made toward an understanding of the role of ARs in a variety of diseases, such as inflammatory conditions, sepsis, heart attack, ischemia-reperfusion injury, vascular injury, spinal cord injury, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, diabetes, obesity, inflammatory bowel disease, retinopathy, and Parkinson's Disease (PD).

In the central nervous system, A_(2a) antagonists can have antidepressant properties and stimulate cognitive functions. There is fairly convincing prospective epidemiological evidence of a protective effect of caffeine against Parkinson's disease. Moreover, data has shown that A_(2a) receptors density is very high in the basal ganglia, known to be important in the control of movement. Hence, selective A_(2a) antagonists can improve motor impairment due to neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease (Trends Pharmacol. Sci. 1997, 18, 338-344), senile dementia as in Alzheimer's disease, psychoses, stroke and in the treatment of cerebral ischaemia (Life Sci. 1994, 55, 61-65). A_(2a) antagonists may also be employed for the treatment or management of attention related disorders such as attention deficit disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, extra pyramidal syndrome, e.g., dystonia, akathisia, pseudoparkinsonism and tardive dyskinesia, and disorders of abnormal movement such as restless leg syndrome and periodic limb movement in sleep. Several of these indications have been disclosed in patent applications (eg. WO 02/055083, WO 05/044245 and WO 06/132275). Adenosine A_(2a) antagonists are also useful agents for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, cirrhosis, and fibrosis and fatty liver (US2007037033, WO 01/058241). A_(2a) receptor antagonists are also useful for the mitigation of addictive behavior (WO 06/009698) and for the treatment and prevention of dermal fibrosis in diseases such as scleroderma (Arthritis & Rheumatism, 54(8), 2632-2642, 2006).

PD is a progressive, incurable disorder with no definite preventive treatment, although drugs are available to alleviate the symptoms and/or slow down the progress of the disease. Among the various strategies, A2A AR blockers are considered a potential approach to treatment of the disease.

Within the brain A2A ARs are richly expressed in the striatum, nucleus accumbens, and olfactory tubercle. A coexpression of A2A with D2 dopamine receptors has been reported in the GABAergic striatopallidal neurons where adenosine and dopamine agonists exert antagonistic effects in the regulation of locomotor activity. Activation of A2A ARs in striatopallidal neurons decreases the affinity of D2 receptors for dopamine, antagonizing the effects of D2 receptors. The negative interaction between A2A and D2 receptors is at the basis of the use of A2A antagonists as a novel therapeutic approach in the treatment of PD. (Pharmacol. Ther. 2005, 105, 267). The recent discovery that the A2A can form functional heteromeric receptor complexes with other Gprotein-coupled receptors such as D2 and the mGlu5 receptors has also suggested new opportunities for the potential of A2A antagonists in PD. (J. Mol. Neurosci. 2005, 26, 209).

A2A receptors may be beneficial for the treatment or prevention of disorders such as a movement disorder, for example, Parkinson's disease or progressive supernuclear palsy, Restless leg syndrome, nocturnal myoclonus, cerebral ischaemia, Huntington's disease, multiple system atrophy, corticobasal degeneration, Wilsons disease or other disorders of basal ganglia which results in dyskinesias. See for example WO200013682, WO200012409, WO2009156737, WO200911442, WO2008121748, WO2001092264, WO2007038284, WO2008002596, WO2009111449, WO2009111442, WO2008121748, WO2009156737, WO2003022283, WO2005044245, WO2007038212.

Adenosine signaling is known to serve apoptotic, angiogenic and pro-inflammatory functions and might be relevant to the pathogenesis of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, Vol. 24, No. 8, August 2003). Extracellular adenosine acts as a local modulator with a generally cytoprotective function in the body. Its effects on tissue protection and repair fall into four categories: increasing the ratio of oxygen supply to demand; protecting against ischaemic damage by cell conditioning; triggering anti-inflammatory responses; and the promotion of angiogenesis. The A_(2B) adenosine receptor subtype (see Feoktistov, I., Biaggioni, I. Pharmacol. Rev. 1997, 49, 381-402) has been identified in a variety of human and murine tissues and is involved in the regulation of vascular tone, smooth muscle growth, angiogenesis, hepatic glucose production, bowel movement, intestinal secretion, and mast cell degranulation. A_(2B) receptors have been implicated in mast cell activation and asthma, control of vascular tone, cardiac myocyte contractility, cell growth and gene expression, vasodilation, regulation of cell growth, intestinal function, and modulation of neurosecretion (Pharmacological Reviews Vol. 49, No. 4).

A_(2B) receptors modulate mast cell function. Adenosine activates adenylate cyclase and protein kinase C, and potentiates stimulated mediator release in mouse bone marrow derived mast cells. (TiPS—April 1998 (Vol. 19)). Activation of A_(2B) receptors in HMC-1 augments IL-8 release and potentiates PMA-induced secretion of IL-8. Thus, adenosine would contribute to the asthmatic response by acting on the mast cell to enhance the release of proinflammatory mediators. (Pulmonary Pharmacology & Therapeutics 1999, 12, 111-114). In COPD, transformation of pulmonary fibroblasts into myofibroblasts is considered a major mechanism. Activation of the A_(2B) AR is involved in this process. Selective A_(2B) antagonists are expected to have beneficial effect on pulmonary fibrosis (Curr. Drug Targets, 2006, 7, 699-706; Am. J. Resper. Cell. Mol. Biol., 2005, 32, 228). A_(2B) antagonists can be used as wound healing agents. Activation of the A_(2B) AR promotes angiogenesis by increasing the release of angiogenic factors and A_(2B) antagonists are useful to block angiogenesis (Circ. Res., 2002, 90, 531-538). A_(2B) AR may be involved in the inhibition cardiac fibroblast (CF) proliferation (Am. J. Physiol. Heart Circ. Physiol., 2004, 287, H2478-H2486). Adenosine stimulates Cl— secretion in the intestinal epithelia pointing towards a possible treatment for cystic fibrosis patients with CFTR mutation (Am. J. Respir. Cell Mol. Biol., 2008, 39, 190-197). High affinity A_(2B) antagonists are effective in hot plate model suggestive of the role of A_(2B) in nociception and can be used as potential analgesic agents (The J. of Pharmacol. and Exp. Ther., 2004, 308, 358-366).

A_(2B) receptor is involved in release of IL-6. Increasing evidence suggests that IL-6 plays a role in Alzheimer's disease in the context of inflammatory process associated with disease. Hence A_(2B) receptor antagonist might be useful for Alzheimer's disease.

The A_(2B) ARs are involved in the stimulation of nitric oxide production during Na⁺-linked glucose or glutamine absorption. They are involved in glucose production in hepatocytes upon agonist stimulation. A_(2B)-receptor antagonists showed an anti-diabetic potential mainly by increasing plasma insulin levels under conditions when the adenosine tonus was elevated in-vivo and increased insulin release in-vitro (J Pharm. Pharmacol. 2006 December; 58(12):1639-45). Thus A_(2B) antagonists may serve as a novel target for the treatment of this metabolic disease.

It has been demonstrated that adenosine activation of the A_(2B) adenosine receptor increase cAMP accumulation, cell proliferation and VEGF expression in human retinal endothelial cells. Activation of A_(2B)AdoR increased vascular endothelial cell growth factor mRNA and protein expression in human retinal endothelial cells. Adenosine also has a synergistic effect with VEGF on retinal endothelial cell proliferation and capillary morphogenesis in vitro. Such activity is necessary in healing wounds, but the hyperproliferation of endothelial cells promotes diabetic retinopathy. Also, an undesirable increase in blood vessels occurs in neoplasia. Accordingly, inhibition of binding of adenosine to A_(2B) receptors in the endothelium will alleviate or prevent hypervasculation, thus preventing retinopathy and inhibiting tumor formation.

In view of the physiological effects mediated by adenosine receptor, several A_(2B) receptor antagonists have been recently disclosed for the treatment or prevention of asthma, bronchoconstriction, allergic diseases, hypertension, atherosclerosis, reperfusion injury, myocardial ischemia, retinopathy, inflammation, gastrointestinal tract disorders, cell proliferation diseases and/or diabetes mellitus. See for example WO2008002902, WO2007149277, WO2007017096, WO2007109547, WO2006091896, WO2006015357, WO2005042534, WO2005021548, WO2004106337, WO2003000694, WO2003082873, WO2003006465, WO2003053361, WO2003002566, WO2003063800, WO2003042214, WO2003035639, EP1283056, WO200073307, WO2000125210, WO2000073307, US20050119287, US20060281927.

It has now been found that compounds of the present invention are potent antagonists of the A_(2B) adenosine receptor and can therefore be used in the treatment of the diseases mentioned herein above.

Under normal physiological conditions, A₁ ARs are quiescent; however, A₁ ARs are upregulated in conditions of stress, such as ischaemia, and in conditions of inflammation, typified by the inflammatory airway involvement in human asthmatics. A₁ ARs are upregulated in airway epithelium and bronchial smooth muscle in human asthmatics. A₁ ARs have been described on a number of different human cell types that are important in the pathophysiology of asthma, including APCs, human airway epithelial and bronchial smooth muscle cells, lymphocytes, mast cells, neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, fibroblasts and endothelial cells. Activation of A₁ ARs on these different cell types induces the release of mediators and cytokines that lead to airway hyperreactivity, inflammation and airway remodelling. Activation of A₁ ARs on human asthmatic bronchial tissue produces bronchoconstriction. On human airway epithelial cells, activation of A₁ ARs causes an increase in expression of the MUC 2 gene responsible for mucus hypersecretion. Moreover, activation of A₁ ARs on a number of different human cells produces pro-inflammatory effects. Taken together, these effects of A₁ ARs in humans suggest that the A₁ AR antagonists could play potential therapeutic role in inflammatory diseases (C N Wilson, British J. of Pharm., 2008, 155, 475-86 and references cited therein). A₁ AR antagonists have been shown to have efficacy in rodent models of asthma and inflammation ((J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 315, 329-336, 2005; Eur. J. Pharmacol., 551, 116-124, 2006).

A₁ antagonists have also been shown to have therapeutic potential in diseases such as hypertension, congestive heart failure where underlying mechanism is diuresis. There are several compounds in development for these indications (J. Am. Soc. Nephrol. 10, 714-720, 1999; Circulation, 105, 1348-1353, 2002; J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 308, 846-856, 2004).

A₁ AR antagonists are reported to reduce infarct size. It has been suggested that the ability of A₁ AR antagonists to reduce the infarct size is also mediated by antagonism at A_(2B) AR (Circulation, 1996, 9, 94; J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther., 2000, 292, 3, 929-938).

Activation of A₃ ARs induces the release of preformed mediators from basophils and produces bronchoconstriction, eosinophil migration into airways and mucus hypersecretion in animals, A₃ AR antagonists have been recommended for development as anti-asthma drugs (Fishman and Bar-Yehuda, 2003; Nadeem and Mustafa, 2006). A₃ AR antagonists have also been shown to play therapeutic role in various diseases including cardio-protection (Vasc. Pharmacol., 2005, 42, 271; J. Pharm. Exp. Ther., 2006, 319, 1200) and cancer (WO200010391).

Since several ARs have been implicated in asthma/COPD diseases pathophysiology, a pan AR antagonist may have therapeutic advantage.

It has now been found that some of the compounds of the present invention are non-selective antagonists of ARs and can therefore be used in the treatment of above mentioned diseases.

Polymorphism generally can occur as a response to changes in temperature or pressure or both, and can also result from variations in the crystallization process. Polymorphs can be distinguished by various physical characteristics, and typically the x-ray diffraction patterns, solubility behavior, and melting point of the compound are used to distinguish polymorphs.

The compounds described herein may contain one or more chiral centers and/or double bonds and therefore, may exist as stereoisomers, such as double-bond isomers (i.e., geometric isomers), regioisomers, enantiomers or diastereomers. Accordingly, the chemical structures depicted herein encompass all possible enantiomers and stereoisomers of the illustrated or identified compounds including the stereoisomerically pure form (e.g., geometrically pure, enantiomerically pure or diastereomerically pure) and enantiomeric and stereoisomeric mixtures. Enantiomeric and stereoisomeric mixtures can be resolved into their component enantiomers or stereoisomers using separation techniques or chiral synthesis techniques well known to the person skilled in the art. The compounds may also exist in several tautomeric forms including the enol form, the keto form and mixtures thereof. Accordingly, the chemical structures depicted herein encompass all possible tautomeric forms of the illustrated or identified compounds.

Compounds may exist in unsolvated forms as well as solvated forms, including hydrated forms and as N-oxides. In general, compounds may be hydrated, solvated or N-oxides. Certain compounds may exist in multiple crystalline or amorphous forms. Also contemplated within the scope of the invention are congeners, analogs, hydrolysis products, metabolites and precursor or prodrugs of the compound. In general, unless otherwise indicated, all physical forms are equivalent for the uses contemplated herein and are intended to be within the scope of the present invention.

“Prodrug” refers to a derivative of a drug molecule as, for example, esters, carbonates, carbamates, ureas, amides or phosphates that requires a transformation within the body to release the active drug.

Prodrugs may be obtained by bonding a promoiety (defined herein) typically via a functional group, to a drug.

“Promoiety” refers to a group bonded to a drug, typically to a functional group of the drug, via bond(s) that are cleavable under specified conditions of use. The bond(s) between the drug and promoiety may be cleaved by enzymatic or non-enzymatic means. Under the conditions of use, for example following administration to a patient, the bond(s) between the drug and promoiety may be cleaved to release the parent drug. The cleavage of the promoiety may proceed spontaneously, such as via a hydrolysis reaction, or it may be catalyzed or induced by another agent, such as by an enzyme, by light, by acid, or by a change of or exposure to a physical or environmental parameter, such as a change of temperature, pH, etc. The agent may be endogenous to the conditions of use, such as an enzyme present in the systemic circulation to which the prodrug is administered or the acidic conditions of the stomach or the agent may be supplied exogenously.

“Pharmaceutically acceptable salt” embraces salts with a pharmaceutically acceptable acid or base. Pharmaceutically acceptable acids include both inorganic acids, for example hydrochloric, sulphuric, phosphoric, diphosphoric, hydrobromic, hydroiodic and nitric acid and organic acids, for example citric, fumaric, maleic, malic, mandelic, ascorbic, oxalic, succinic, tartaric, benzoic, acetic, methanesulphonic, ethanesulphonic, benzenesulphonic or p-toluenesulphonic acid.
